About

Escape to Arie Lagoon, a luxury hotel in Negombo lying between the shimmering waters of the lagoon and the Indian Ocean, in the fishing village of Thalahena. This 4 Star Negombo lagoon hotel, which provides easy access to the airport and the commercial capital Colombo, is your getaway to paradise!

I had a lovely experience at Arie Lagoon when i went there for my honeymoon. Room arrangements were attractive and eye catching. Food & service was excellent. Went on a boat tour in the evening. Over all it was excellent..

One of my best friends wedding took place in Arie Lagoon on 24th January 2019. The property was very diverse and relaxing. the hospitality was above the standards. Even the F&B Manager was up in the knee interacting and coordinating with us all the day long. I'm extremely happy…

We stayed here on our first night in Sri Lanka. It was our first hotel after our late night early morning flight. First issue was we arrived at 6am and told we couldn’t check in till 2pm. To be fair they allocated us a room by 12 noon - we had to pay for our breakfast that…

Big rooms. Good buffet breakfast and dinner. Lot of different foods to choose from. Good WiFi. No good information leaflet in rooms about hotel. Very near the sea. Surround area doesn't have too much to offer.

Dear Guest, Many thanks for choosing Arie Lagoon, Negombo and for the valuable time taken in sharing your experience with us on Trip Advisor. We're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our spacious rooms with great WiFi connectivity as well as our International buffets! Feedback is of utmost importance to us and we have certainly noted your valuable comments and assure you that we will look into rectifying the same at the earliest. We're located in a small fishing village just outside of the Negombo town (approximately 6 kilometers) and while this is what we believe contributes to the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere that the resort boasts we understand that the surrounding area does not offer too much. Of course, we're always pleased to organise taxis for our valued guests should a short trip to the city centre is required. We sincerely appreciate your patronage and do look forward to welcoming you back at Arie Lagoon, Negombo!

Allotted a room with no sunlight or any connection to outside world (room number 202). Also forced to pay $ 70 per day x 7 days for meals when we only ate for two days. The hotel is way outside Negombo and needs a taxi to go anywhere unless one wants to just stay in the hotel…

Dear Guest, Many thanks for choosing Arie Lagoon, Negombo and for the valuable time taken in sharing your experience with us on Trip Advisor. After having reviewed your reservation with us, we wish to put on record that you left early after having only stayed for 3 days from your initially planned 7 days with us through RCI, due to an injury you sustained during an excursion. In accordance with the RCI cancellation policy, the resort is under no obligation to refund for unutilised room nights. However, had the reason for your early departure been made known to us, we could have considered a refund as a special circumstance. Furthermore, your meal plan, total cost and the cancellation policy was a pre-determined fact and you made the payment knowing the details. No one and least of all Arie Lagoon, Negombo would "force" any of our valued guests to act against their will. As advertised on our website, social media platforms and RCI profile, we have been very direct and open about where exactly in Negombo we're located which is in a fishing village just outside of the town. Once again, you will have had access to this information before making a booking with us. Finally, we would like to put on record that room 202 in fact has a beautifully landscaped 350 sqft private garden with it's own porch secluded from the hustle and bustle of the rest of resort which spans over 5 acres. Moreover, there is no record of you requesting a room change if your experience in room 202 was not up to your expectations which we would have gladly accommodated. While we highly value guest comments and feedback, we feel that on this occasion we have been unduly judged.
